The aim of this project is to present a methodological proposal based on the
education and learning of the mathematics through the use of tales. This
approach intends, on one hand, to propose mathematical activities through the
resolution of problems seen in the tales and apply them to real and meaningful
contexts for children. On the other hand, to create contexts for learning
mathematics where –besides learning contents– the implicit mathematical
processes are encouraged in this development. The project begins by reviewing
the theoretical aspects in which the proposal is based, followed by proposals
are carried out in a classroom, the analysis of the results obtained, as well as
the conclusions came across about why the tales, apart from entertaining and
astonishing, they can be a good resource to develop the mathematical activity.
